All-American singer Josh Harty heads for Formby

AMERICAN singer/songwriter Josh Harty comes to Formby this week to headline the next Grateful Fred Roots and Acoustic Night.

From his roots in Fargo, with a preacher/police officer as a father, to his travelling the country with a 1965 Gibson guitar on his back, Josh Harty embodies every nook and cranny of Americana, and his music is evidence of that.

In August he released his latest work, Nowhere. This album is his most organic release to date, with siren- like harmonies on tracks like Nowhere, featuring Brianna Lane, and Yesterday with Chris Cunningham.

Music fans and critics across the globe are recognising Josh’s technical skill as well, which he has gained through nearly three decades on guitar.

Josh will be supported by leading Merseyside band The Good Intentions at Grateful Fred’s this Thursday (November 3).

Grateful Fred’s Americana, Roots and Acoustic Nights are now hosted at the Formby British Legion Club, Whitehouse Lane. Doors open at 7.45pm. Tickets, £6.50, are available online at www.gratefulfred.co.uk or by calling Colin Maddocks on 07970 774 618.
